PRETTY LITTLE GIRL

Ever since my little E has grown into a toddler, my days have become waaaaay more interesting if not more challenging. For a start, she now needs even more coaxing with even the simplest of things, namely eating and dressing up. The dressing up part particularly has caused a few tensions - not because she's picky about her clothes (that happens too, occasionally), but because she ABSOLUTELY refuses to let me tidy up her hair! And with her bangs getting longer, this has become more and more of a struggle because: a.) I hate messy hair, and b.) the bangs just keep getting into her line of vision that it gives me pain just looking at it. Plus, I am quite particular when it comes to fashion and I DO so LOVE dressing up my children. So if you have a little girl and you quite care about dressing her up like me, you can imagine the pain of not being able to do up her daily appearance properly. And I'm not talking about getting her to be fancy everyday here. All I ask is that she clips those bangs out of the way. With the cute little bow I just bought her recently. Whatever.

And the other thing I started noticing about her recently is that she began to claim that she's a boy. And as I wondered where on Earth she got the idea, I eavesdropped on her playing together with my eldest and my niece, and for the obvious lack of boys (and most probably because she is the youngest), the older two have her as the designated prince. And I guess ever since then the 'boy' label is stuck in her mind...

...which doesn't help my mission on prettying up her hair.

Oooh boy!

And my little ballerina continues to grow… before I know it she’s ready to perform a full pirouette. Do you think she’ll make it? ⠀⠀
For those who don’t know, this ballerina is part of an ongoing project that I’m doing with my good friend who is also a talented composer and musician. Every time he composes a phrase, I continue the drawing. As the music grows so does the little ballerina. Atm it’s only my sketches, but I can’t wait to show the whole picture with the music one day. This is also inspired by own little ballerina who is almost 9 and quietly passionate about her dancing. It’s a pleasure to pour my pride and fascination on paper as I watch over her. ⠀⠀ #balletgirl #mangastyle #mangaart #mangaartwork #mangadrawing #mangadraw #mangadraws #mangastyle #mangaka #mangaartist #cutedraw #cutedrawing #cuteart #cutedrawings #kawaiiart #kawaiidrawing #kawaiidraw #kawaiiartist #illustrationart #illustrationoftheday #childrenillustration #fanartist #drawinglove #balletlove #ilovedraw #ilovedrawing #ilovedrawsomething #ipadart #illustrated #mangasketch

WHO INSPIRED YOUR PASSION AND WHY? To me it was my mother. She was always on the floor with me drawing when I was little and she was the first person who taught me how to draw people! She taught me to be courageous, to be kind and to be happy with myself. She taught me that it’s okay not to be mainstream, and to go with the flow when things are difficult. She taught me to always have God in my heart so I’d have strength whenever I go. She’s my ultimate superwoman. @aigita_tjandrasjahan Happy #internationalwomensday mum ! Love you very much!
